Mission + Vision

When we started Second Chance Kitties in 2014, I was only just beginning to understand the importance of our work.

Now, being more activeIy involved in the animal welfare sector in Whanganui I have seen the huge cat problem that we have here.

Desexing is the only way we can combat this problem. Only one kitten in twelve finds it's forever home... the rest end up dumped, abandoned or in a shelter somewhere.Our goal is to end that and increase the chances for cats in our city.

I want to thank all our supporters who help us on this mission!
